We've made it to surgery day. Fiancé and I will be heading to the hospital in a mere 4 hrs. The nerves of the procedure itself set in for him last night and I've been an on and off wreck as the last week has gone by.

I know this is the best possible thing for him physically, emotionally, and for our family's health. But, damn, I wish we didn't have to do this. I hate change; it's scary and paralyzing, but there's no turning back now!

We're starting a whole new life as a family and once he takes that step, it's on! Well get through the different stages of recovery and eventually family dinners might feel more normal, smaller for him, but normal, and healthier for all of us.

*phew* I'm glad I got that off my chest.

Wish us luck!!

You guys are going to do great. I love that I had to read it twice to figure out it was him doing the surgery. You are working as a solid pair and that is very encouraging. Keep up the great attitude!

Love that you are taking such a proactive role in preparing for his recovery and are being so supportive through this process. Not all of us have that. Make sure he knows how lucky he is!

Mom always said that if you can't say something nice, say nothing...but I can't.

Maybe I am off base but to me there is something very strange about your post, your words. Almost scary.

I wish him the best of luck

Thank you all for the kind words and support. We just checked into the hospital and because Fiancé is a "surgeons dream" the reps from the hospital want to follow him through the process. Feeling good so far!

UPDATE: Fiance's surgery ran long but went well. We were able to visit with him in recovery for just a little bit, but that's just as well because he was very groggy from anesthesia. Heading back over to see him this afternoon...first taking our three month old to the docs, because ya know when it rains, it pours

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
